Abstract

Background: Coronavirus (COVID 19) pandemic has taken so many lives and has contributed to an increase in morbidity due to its complications. The research is still in infancy and much has yet to be investigated. Objective: To correlate the HRCT findings on chest with antibody testing in patients visiting tertiary care hospitals in Lahore. Methodology: Three hundred and thirty-two patients with mild, moderate and severe symptoms of COVID 19 were recruited. Those with raised CRP levels were sent for HRCT chest and PCR testing as protocol of the hospitals. All patients were tested with Rapid antibody kits for reactivity. Results: Showed that males were affected more than females. Similarly, non-health care workers were more affected. All patients with bilateral involvement of lungs on HRCT chest and positive PCR findings also tested reactive on antibody testing. However, a few people with bilateral lung involvement and negative on PCR testing got reactive results on Rapid antibody testing. Linear regression model shows significant correlation of HRCT chest findings with Ant-SARC- COV 2 antibodies. Conclusion: HRCT findings (Unilateral and bilateral lung infiltrates) correlated significantly with Anti SARC-COV 2 Antibodies.
